That works well, thanks a lot!

No problem. It is a must have mod for me.

does anyone know how many dlcs are still left?

 

The finishers one and then one more after that as far as the 16 promised one go.

I do wonder if CDPR will continue to distribute some sort of free content post the 16th DLC.

It's only 3 months till the first expansion. About all this free content, I would have bundled it into one or two DLCs rather than doing it weekly. I know they're stretching it out for PR reasons but from a presentation standpoint bigger DLCs seem much better.

They said the RedKit2 will come out after the DLC so I hope that means after the 16th free DLC and not the second expansion.  At least for the months waiting for the first expansion there would be plenty of fan made mods.

I read one Witcher short story where Geralt is hired to translate a "romantic" encounter between one noble and a siren. So, he is tasked with passing messages back and forth like children "Do you like me? Yes. No." while the pair is growing increasingly frustated because both want the other mutate and join their world.

Just picture Game Geralt doing this, it's hilarious.

Indeed. It draws attention to the individual components, and most of them haven't been all that great.

They should've bundled all the armor in a batch with the Wolf School quest, all the appearance stuff with the pig quest, and the finishers and weaponry with the miner quest early on.

Personally, I got exactly what I expected, 16 small pieces of DLC that would be sold 2-3$ each by many other publishers. I certainly didn't imagine they would give 16 free-LCs the size of stuff like the Black Emporium. The free-LCs are a marketing ploy (a good one, but still). CDPR isn't going to be invest half their DLC budget on them by any means. Rationally, it was probably stuff they wanted to add, but held up either to polish them or to be able to say they give free dlc.

They needed to release a huge number, because that was part of their prerelease marketing pitch. If they had said "4 moderately sized free DLCs!" the hype wouldn't be there. This was carefully planned.

If they don't release the redkit before Beth releases the creation kit they might as well not release it at all. Almost every decent modder will be doing **** for Fo4. Right out the gate releasing a modkit a year after the game is done is almost pointless because so many people will have moved on. I think the idea is they will maintain interest with the expansions but like I said, Fallout is a juggernaut in the modding industry and the majority of modders will be more interested in doing stuff for that.

I honestly do not think their free dlcs are what created the hype although it certainly added more to it.

Witcherses thing three do!

 

Trolls in TW3 are amazing. I would not mind CDPR release a individual DLC/game with their trolls as main characters.

Hey guys, I just wanted to know, I'm soon about to find Ciri and proceed to the battle of Kaer Morhen. It really feels like the end game and wanted to know if that is the actual final quest, the climax of the game ?

No it's not the final quest.

Kaer Morhen is about 2/3 of the way through. It's a climax, but not the end.

It also signifies to me, the drop off in quality that the game has.

Eh, my least favorite part of the game is actually the first stay in Novigrad. I literally couldn't care less about Sigi's gold, the endless stringing along to save Dandelion, the cliché crime bosses, or Radovid and his army of mustache-twirling villains vs the poor helpless mages. After the gold standard that is the Velen storyline, it hurts even more.

 

The story overall is just incredibly inconsistent in terms of quality. While it has amazing moments (the Bloody Baron story, finding Ciri, all of Kaer Morhen, the voyage with Avellach) it also has several much less interesting downtimes (both stays in Novigrad mostly, Skellige didn't inspire me either, Uma is adorable but a giant contrivance and slows down the plot a bit much). 

 

Honestly, the last Act wasn't that awful. It had too much padding and Reason of State is a pretty awful way to resolve the war, but the ending sequence was fine up until Ciri basically said ''by the way, gotta go end the most powerful evil force in the Witcherverse and survive thanks to The Power Of Love, see you before dinner, kthxbye''. As someone I knew who read the books said, it would be kinda like Shepard punching Harbinger in the face and thus end the Reaper threat at the end of ME3 before turning up no worse for wear. Just hugely anticlimatic considering how the White Frost is behind a lot of the universe's problems, most notably the Wild Hunt itself.

 

Eredin was also a terrible villain, but save for maybe the Crones that's a general problem in TW3. None of the antagonists can even touch Letho.

So, I completed the game yesterday. The last part was shorter than I expected but all in all it was a great ride. I'm only confused about what Ciri did in the end to save the world. I'm not sure how the White Frost is something that can just be defeated.

I have a lame question. Isn't Redania and Niflgaard in war with each other? If so, howcome Niflgaardian elite families, for eg Var Attre family, live in Novigrad?

Novigrad is technically a 'free city'. It's not considered part of Redania.

 

In any case, the Var Attre family are the family of the Nilfgaardian Ambassador to Novigrad so their presence is somewhat mandatory, I guess. It's not like there's a significant Nilfgaardian presence. I think they're the only family?

The Nilfgardians are there for no other reason than to tease Geralt.

Seriously, you give us a quest to teach a young woman how to use a sword and then you add a twin to the mix and "Oh Geralt, would you please turn around. I need to fix my corset" and then NOTHING!?

Novigrad is kind of a free trading zone. even countries in battle would not killed ambassador who stays in "free zone".
